center of which is a standard 2. On the upper end ot the standard is a clamping device 3 and near the lower end ot said standard is a similar clan'iping device 4., which devices are adapted to clamp golf bugs, shown at 5, in upright position on opposite sides of the standard.

.The base plete is adapted to rest on the running board (i of an automobile, shown at 'i' and has a screw threaded extension 8 adapted to extend through the running board. A clamping plete 9 is mounted on this extension and .is adapted to eng-age the under side oi" the running board, being clamped against said board by a wing nut lt). An opening 1.1 is provided in the ex-- tension 8 and .is ada ted to receive the hasp 12 ot a padlock 13 Whereby the running board clamping means may be locked in clalnping position to preventunauthorized removal ot the Carrier from the antomobile.

Each ot' the clamping devices 3 and 4 comprises a horizontal bracket 1.4: consisting ot pairs of curved or bowed arms 15 and lb joined by a central web portion 17 through which web portion the standard extends and to which it iS Secured. The arms of each pair are in snperposed parallel relation, being joined to oneanothcr at their ends by short npright members 18 and between their ends by Similar portions 19. These arms are curved So as to contorm to the curvature of a golf bag and to extend partly around the bag. A strap 20 having the usual buckle 21 is attached to each pair of bracket arms, being inserted between the pair of members 18 and back of the portions 19 so that the end of the straps are tree to be extended around the gol'l' bags.

To attach the Carrier it is only necessary to bore a hole in the running board and to place the base platel on the board so that the ScI'ew 8 extends through the hole. Next the Clamp plate 9 is placed on the screw 8 and the Wing nut 10 turned, to clamp the carrier in place. The pad lock may then be employed as shown, to lock the carrier in place. The golf bags containing the Clubs are rested on the base plate 1, on opposite Sides of the standard so that the Sides of the bag engage the cnrved pairs of bracket arms. The straps are then passed around the ba s, tightene'd as desired, then buckled in tie Ordinary manner to hold the bags in place. The straps Will bind the bags so that the clubs are prevented from 'jostling about or rattling. The bags being disposed On opposite Sides Of the standard and restng 011 the base, balance the entire bundle Or pack and causes the strains and Stresses to be evenly distributed.

The base l is provided With a pointed tOOth Or lng 21 adapted tO bite into the material of which the running board ls fOrmed so as to prevent the Carrier 'from tnrning 01' shi'fting after it is monnted n place.

The straps are monnted On the braeket arms in such a Way that the arms need not Come in actual Contact with the bugs, When the arms are tightened tO Clamp the bags in place. hen the etraps are tightened, the pOrtiOns shOWn at' 22 (see Fg. 4) extend :in front Otthe curved arms and thereby Space the 'bag from the arms. This serves as a cushioning medium and provides :L yielding clamping of the bugs in place.
